I’ve used Frigate for a few years with up to 5 cameras, but 100 might be pushing it for a single card. I’m fond of the Google Coral M.2 chips for inference like the software maintainer recommends. You would need about ~5-10 I’d guess, and 1 low tier GPU if you’re not transcoding too much. I talked to the guy that made the project a few years ago when it was still small, and he helped me with FFmpeg parameters to get Cuda h.265 decoding. Which is also important, depending on your cameras. Maybe talk to him directly through GitHub.




I use the same naming convention as you for stacks, but since I’m running a docker swarm I have to mount the NFS in the exact same way on all my nodes, which are just 3 R-Pi 4s. It’s a little janky in that if the NFS goes offline all my services go along with it. Traefik works really well with a swarm, especially when you have it set to auto pick up any services and proxy them.
